How much time off do you have on the books? You might want to use some of it (Dr. Norman recommends...) |
|
| |
Well school's out, so possibly some months? Let me guess
dr norman recommends spending some time with a woman
with a padded backside to cure mental silliness. |

We would market these for you. |

Why would pressing the layers together cause
spontaneous combustion? I'm not saying it won't,
but why will it? |
|
| |
My understanding is that oily rags combust because
of slow, non-combustive oxidation which raises the
temperature, and vice versa, in a runaway manner.
On that basis, you'd expect closely-packed oily rags,
with little of the oil exposed to air, to not combust. |
|
| |
Well, it rather depends how quickly and
forcefully they are compressed, doesn't it ? |
|
| |
There could be a bit of nitroglycerine in there, and the deceased could drop in from some height. There would need to be a spike of straightened fish hook design to prevent unseemly bouncing. |
|
| |
Admittedly, pressure is not a factor in oily rag
combustion, so instead the pressure will apply oil to
the rags inside the chair. The oil will be contained
in blisters. |
|
| |
a bit of piezoelectric current, created by placing the cadaver, might trigger the reaction? |
|
| |
But what if my kitty accidentally jumped up on said
chair? Not good. Not good at all. |
|
| |
The bags of nitrocellulose, nitroglycerine, fulminate of mercury would have to be placed on the cadaver, and not the chair. (Same goes for all the phosphorus.) |

Guaranteed to break the ice at your planet's North Pole in January. |

plus something about hemorrhoids |

|

Your dwelling would burn to cinders but your kitty would
be completely unharmed. Cats are infuriatingly good at
that sort of thing. |
|
| |
Not the human spontaneous combustion, The Chair and Rags spontaneously combustion. Human is entree. |
|
| |
I keep reading this as 'Spontanious Human Combustion Choir'. |
|
| |
"Burst into Flames" not "Burst into Song". Easy
mistake. |
|
| |
hah! Although I've read the title many times, this
morning I read *Spontaneous Human Combustion
Hair*. ( a flaming red-head?) |
|
| |
The misreads are better than the idea. Ha. |
